In a disc brake, two pads are placed on both sides of a rotating metal disc called a rotor. To help the vehicle slow down, these two pads push against the rotor. Brake pads are made from high-friction materials, while the discs are often made from gray iron. However, in high-performance cars, brake pads may also be made of ceramic or carbon fiber. These materials are very good at dissipating heat, which is a by-product whenever you apply the brakes. The more braking force there is, the more heat the brake creates. If the heat doesn’t dissipate properly, braking performance suffers and, in extreme cases, the wheels can catch fire. (Don’t worry: this is generally only an issue in race cars.)

If you are experiencing poor braking performance and or a noise when braking, then it may be time to replace your brake pads.

Applies to most Jeeps with disc brakes, including Cherokee (front), all Grand Cherokees, Liberty, and Wrangler.
